I hate to rain on your parade ( get it? rain? shower?) we're in space. liquid + space = clogged pipes. also where would this unlimited supply of decontamination liquid come from? the pills they have now just seems to make more sense and does not disobey the laws of physics and matter

Not sure if laws of physics is the best argument against this being that it is a game where we store items between space and time, and radiation literally goes away overnight. That being said it would be a little game breaking if the shower had an unlimited number of uses. As it is the meds are an incentive to find materials. maybe I can expand on this idea by suggesting the ability/equipment to melt down Ice and have a reservoir to feed the showers

and if there is a set usage there should be something like when you put your crosshair on it it will show how much it has left, cause if you take out pills and your at 90% rads and climbing its gonna be hard to see where your going

Space is the final frontier why are we sitting here fighting when we can be out looking for XENOPODS!!!!Doctor Who?Doctor Who?THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!Welcome to S.C.A.F.

right now, nothing really has a set usage. One of the design themes for the pile of ideas I put out is that each item is a single block, and has no interaction with other blocks.

So no plumbing, or calculations to make it work. At most, the device pops you to a new screen (like managing your bot), which doesn't have to be super complicated or 3d computed.

By requiring X to activate it, the game doesn't have to deal with its special feature until then. Perhaps each hit reduces 10% radiation (I don't think the potions should totally cure either). In any event, keep it simple.

If I may be so bold as to say to the posters above, when talking about the realism behind having a decontamination shower you should have stopped at the "We're in space" part.Forget whether it's realistic or not, as has been pointed out elsewhere the whole premise of the game isn't realistic, nor is it meant to be!From a gameplay / fun perspective, I think this idea is far, far better than being able to heal radiation as and when we like. Especially with the cheap cost of the green anti-rad stuff you can create. And especially as it heals you all in one go.In short, I'm up for this!~M~

i am farely certain a bunch already know its in space and not realistic, but since its not realistic it would be to the whole point of having it since there is gravity yet we are in space, unless they plan on adding zero gravity generators the idea of a decontaimination shower would be entirely plausible for this game, we could even have the community vote more for stuff like this and ZG and it woukd help the DEVS out on what the community wants in the game instead of just post after post getting buried.(everyone should look at the old posts there is a lot of great ideas in them and a bunch that get repeated due to not taking time to look.)

I've toyed with the idea of creating a topic with a list of all current ideas, hyperlinked to their topic page and split into genres.However it would need locking to random replies, monitoring daily and stickying so a moderator would be the best person to do it. I've been thinking of doing it for a couple of weeks now. I have applied for the post of moderator but am yet to receive a reply. That's not surprising; it takes a lot of trust to pass that level or responsibility to a relative stranger!
